i just got a new computer and i'm setting up windows mail but i can't seem to
figure out how to separate my email account into different folders. one of
my accounts is definitely more "junk-y" than my other more important account
and i don't want all these messages garbled in together. the help button is
of no use to me. thanks.
 
Switching to WLM, as Shawn suggested, is a good solution.
However, if you are otherwise happy with Windows Mail, you can
keep incoming mail separated as follows:

Go to Tools, Message Rules, Mail, New...
and the wizard will guide you through the creation of a new message
rule. You should wind up with a rule looking something like this:

Where the message is from the 'Junky' account
move it to the 'Junky_Inbox' folder
and stop processing more rules.

Hope this helps.
